He calls me dad. He messaged me and said 'Hey dad, what have you got? Hey dad, are you around later?' And it's just like, 'Oh my God'. Incredible.

Gordon Ramsay, Celebrity chef and father-in-law of Adam Peaty

Oh Adam your poor dad. How could you? That man literally worked his hands bloody in order that you could pursue your dream... He worked long long days as a brickie - a hard laborious back breaking job. He did it without moan or complaint.

Louise Williams, Aunt of Adam Peaty

You are a complete and utter tool.

As much as Adam wants to be a Ramsay, he is not. He is a Peaty. Adam has financial control and is cashing in on the Ramsay name because it opens doors. He is playing a role.

He was able to bring the room together because that's what a wedding is in my eyes - that you bring these people from all areas of your life, you bring them together.

I take a lot of guidance. I look up to him a lot... in [terms of] sport, he knows the game is the game, that it doesn't lie. But it will humble you and you've got to work hard for those results.
